Listener Q&A:

Can Your Heart Rate Variability Be Too High?

Michael says: Is it possible to have too
much HRV? He checks his HRV every morning and regularly scores over
the maximum value of 100. He even scored 107 once. He is nowhere
near a professional athlete but he trains a lot. Does he have some
weird medical condition or is he just good at taking the test?

Vegan Bone Broth and Vegan Bulletproof Coffee

Ellie says: Is there a vegan version of
bone broth? Not just veggie stock but something with the benefits
of bone broth. Also is there a vegan version of Bulletproof Coffee?
Can she add some Earth Balance and get the same benefits that you
get? Probably not... but she thought she'd ask.

Natural Remedies For Menstrual Cramps

Jasmine says: She gets very bad menstrual
cramps that leave in her in bed and she seriously can't get up and
go through her day. She doesn't want to take over the counter meds
but what else can she take? She also gets incredible fatigue where
she actually has to go and lay down on the floor by her
standing desk (thanks to you for the standing desk idea) because
fatigue has just hit her. Is that normal? What could be wrong that
she gets so fatigued during her period? Do you have any
suggestions of what to do about fatigue and tiredness due to
menstruation?

Do Tesla Cars Have High EMF?

Maria says: She drives for work and is
considering purchasing a Tesla car but is concerned about the EMFs.
She also has two small children and doesn't want to expose them if
it might be dangerous. Do you think the pros outweigh the cons in
terms of never having to buy gas again? Or is the risk of harm too
much?

How To Choose The Sex Of Your Baby

Paul says: He and his wife have just had a
baby girl and while she is an angel and he loves her very much
there is a lot of estrogen in the house now. If he and his wife
were going to have another baby, have you seen any research or do
you know of any way to tip the balance toward having a baby boy
next time? He would like to do all those crazy things you can do
with a boy... 'cause playing with dolls just isn't cutting it.
